Comic Colour Roughs!

Being a Canadian who lives in the U.S. makes me rethink how I spell 'colour' every time I write it. Ha. I tend to opt for the Canadian spelling. I like 'U's in words.

Anyway! I was sending off some comic stuff to my writing group for an article in their newsletter about graphic novels and I came across these colour studies I did for the opening scene and I thought they might be interesting to post here.

Thanks to Nathan Lindsay's good suggestion about using my digital camera as a temporary scanner, I hope to post some new drawings now and then too. I did bring a little wacom.

Vancouver is beautiful and everyone at Rainmaker is very nice. I wish Stephen and the cats could be up here with me too though. :)

under your drawings you should start posting pictures of some of the fun vancouver sites you visit... as well as your occasional vancouver adventures.
It's lovely to see you posting again! ^_^

awesome stuff as always....and since you're just up the road now (and not very good answering the e-mail yo)...give a yell, I know the girls would love to see you again...and maybe Burke too, but I warn you...he smells of feet and dorotos.

Hi Sarah,

I did the same thing - using a little Wacom when I'm away from home - it works pretty well, but I don't like using my Laptop LCD screen - not the best for seeing colors (Or as you say Colours). ;)

Digital cameras work great too - It's a studio on the go!

Take Care,
Dave

I was already looking forward to your novel, just because I like your art and storytelling. But now I see you've got ninjas in it!

Ninjas!
